ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
St. Matthew’s Conservatory of Classical Dance LLC
Last Updated: February 21, 2025
At St. Matthew’s Conservatory of Classical Dance, located in Grapevine, Texas 76051, we are dedicated to providing an inclusive and welcoming experience for all individuals, including those with disabilities. We strive to ensure that our website is accessible to everyone, in alignment with the **Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA**, as well as applicable federal and state standards, such as the **Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)** and **Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act**.
What web accessibility is
An accessible site allows visitors with disabilities to browse the site with the same or a similar level of ease and enjoyment as other visitors. This can be achieved with the capabilities of the system on which the site is operating, and through assistive technologies.
Accessibility Features
Accessibility Features
We have implemented the following measures to enhance accessibility:
- Semantic Structure: Our site uses clear HTML markup to support screen readers and other assistive tools.
- Keyboard Navigation: All interactive elements (links, buttons, forms) are accessible via keyboard.
- Text Alternatives: Images include descriptive `alt` text to convey meaning to visually impaired users.
- Color Contrast: We aim for sufficient contrast between text and backgrounds to improve readability.
- Responsive Design: Our site adjusts to various screen sizes and devices for a consistent experience.
Ongoing Efforts
Accessibility is an ongoing process, and we are continually working to improve our website. We regularly review our site using accessibility tools and welcome feedback from users to address any barriers.
Known Limitations
While we strive for full accessibility, some areas may not yet meet our standards. For example:
- Older PDFs or documents linked on our site may lack proper tagging for screen readers.
- Third-party content (e.g., payment processors) may not be fully under our control.
We are actively working to resolve these issues and appreciate your patience as we enhance our digital offerings.
Our Commitment
We aim to make our website—featuring information about our ballet programs, including the Summer Ballet Intensive—a resource that is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for users of all abilities. This includes individuals who rely on assistive technologies like screen readers, keyboard navigation, or voice recognition software.
